1 . You Hold All The Power

The only person who decides what something means is YOU. Why is this important? Because stress is an intangible, which means although stress may have an instant physiological response, you create the rest of the drama in your head. And if you can create it then you can un-create it. Take a minute or two to RE-FRAME the situation. What else could it mean? How else could you interpret it? What options would be available to you if you chose a new meaning? Do something to put some distance between you and the stress besides eating a coconut flavoured cronut.) Remember, you hold all the power (unless you don’t, which leads us to point number 2)…

2. Except When You Don’t

You can’t control your circumstances but you CAN control how you respond. When you feel like the giant octopus arms of life are slinging mud your way, you only need to ask yourself… “what is the next best choice I can make”. You don’t have to have it all sorted to make progress. You only need to focus on who you want to be rather than who you fear you have already become.

3. Take Control Early, y’all!

The DECISIONS of your life are more important than the CONDITIONS of your life. Don’t allow your mind to wander off into the Boogie Wonderland of drama in your mind but instead, harness it in early in the morning! Make lists of the tasks to be conquered that day. Schedule reminders in your phone. And then, let it go…
